Visual breakdown of face shapesfrom @qoves

[01]

Overview

The creator uses a central portrait of a man as a canvas to visually demonstrate different male face shapes. Through a voiceover and animated dotted-line graphics, they outline the characteristics of oblong, heart, triangle, oval, diamond, round, and square faces directly onto the model's face. Each shape is accompanied by a picture-in-picture example of a famous celebrity with that specific face shape to provide real-world context, concluding with a call to action for viewers to comment their own face shape.

Transcript

Here's what different face shapes look like on men. Oblong faces are long and narrow, so the whole face looks tall and slim. Heart faces are widest across the forehead and then tier down into a small narrow chin. Triangle faces are the exact opposite, which are narrow at the top with a strong heavy jaw. Oval faces are clearly longer than wide, and a soft jaw tapers down to the chin. Diamond faces are widest at the cheekbones, while the forehead and chin both narrow inwards. Round faces are short and fairly wide, with full cheeks and a jaw that has no sharp corners. Square faces stay wide from the forehead to the jaw, with clear corners just below the ears. Comment your face shape and follow us to learn how to go up.
